Abstract: It is assumed that a beam made of material has a physical nonlinear behavior. This beam is analyzed under the moving concentrated and distributed continuous loads. The vibration equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton's Principle and Euler–Lagrange Equation. In this study, the amplitude of vibration, circular frequency, bending moment, stress and deflection of the beam has b...

AIM To develop analytical models and analyse the stress distribution and flexibility of nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments subject to bending forces. METHODOLOGY The analytical method was used to analyse the behaviours of NiTi instruments under bending forces. Two NiTi instruments (RaCe and Mani NRT) with different cross-sections and geometries were considered. Analytical results were derived...

The stress field near the tip of a crack in a plate subjected to membrane and bending loads and undergoing large deflections, is investigated by performing an asymptotic analysis in the context of von Karman plate theory. It is demonstrated that the character of the near tip fields is identical to those of the linear plate theory. However, the determination of the crack tip stress intensity fac...

This article demonstrates a new approach for nonlinear finite element analysis. The methodology is very suitable and gives very accurate results in linear as well as in nonlinear range of the material behavior. Proposed methodology can be regarded as stress based finite element analysis as it is required to define the stress distribution within the structural body with structural idealization a...

We develop a continuum elastic approach to examining the bending mechanics of semiflexible filaments with a local internal degree of freedom that couples to the bending modulus. We apply this model to study the nonlinear mechanics of a double-stranded DNA oligomer (shorter than its thermal persistence length) whose free ends are linked by a single-stranded DNA chain. This construct, studied by ...
